A decade-old design that still nails what most single-body shooters actually need. Fast side access, one-strap swing-around, and honest weather protection, for a fraction of the price of anything new. Skip it if you carry a laptop or shoot with anything larger than a 24-70 f/2.8.
The bag every other camera backpack gets compared to. Fast access, honest carry, and the best dividers on the market. Watch the price and the frame stiffness if you carry heavy loads.
